All well and good but before I buy anything else I think I will look for more overhead. It is a wast of money to waste money on things that are not as fun to play with.

I've been out of the loop for a very long time now, (as you can see the rig in my sig is still the same).

Does anyone know the difference between a Gigabyte Z97X-GAMING 5 and a Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H? The gaming 5 is $10 more.

Anyone have information on the power phases? Is gigabyte mostly using their 50 amp power phases these days or are they still using those 8/10/12 30 amp phases...?

Not that I suppose they matter as much today as they did before, since they should all be adequately powered.
